North Korea's top diplomat held talks with President Hassan Rouhani in Tehran on Wednesday, as the two sides look to bolster their already-strong ties.
According to an Iranian news outlet, Ri Yong-ho briefed the country's leader on the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.
The meeting comes just a day after the U.S. reintroduced sanctions on Tehran, a result of President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
